all the options seems to be incorrect i am wating for OA and explanation.

A : Most implies that others don't, so how does as well fit in?
B : Best choice for me
C : both of ...also of is a better choice for me than 'also from'
D : but also requires a 'not only' at the beginning
E : The additional as well at the end should have been left out.

This topic (not this example) is covered in Kaplan800 under 'Imperfect Options'. That is, SC's where all 5 answer choices are wrong so you'll need to pick the best one.
All 5 have redundancy so no point looking there.

Options B-E state.....addicts seek to be free both of..... Should instead be .......addicts seek to be free of both....

Notice how the change in the positioning of of impacts the grammatical structure of the sentence.
